Ava Crueslow is a Chief's daughter, and as a prime example for women her age, she's forced into a lifestyle of cleaning, kneading, cooking, and living to be pretty, as society defines it. When the greedy Americans have taken her people's land, the responsibility of what to do next lies in the hands of the Chief. As closure, the Chief decides that moving across the mountains will help the distraught villagers find new life that no longer exists in the broken village once called their home. But this is a job for men, and men alone. They've been training for this opportunity for years.
Ava Crueslow won't have it. She's hated the Americans for as long as she can remember and she feels obliged to travel the mountains herself instead of staying home to do the work of a common housewife. So on the day of the trip, she sneaks out and follows the men to the mountains...and the journey begins. Unfortunately, Ava, not having trained a day in her life, loses her way just minutes after beginning what she thought would be the thrill of a lifetime. Stranded, lost, and torn, she has to rely on a certain someone to help her along her way.
Just her luck that he's American.
